about

This song is dedicated to Kevin's maternal grandfather and grandmother. Inspired by his granddad's awakening from dementia on the day of his grandma's death.

lyrics

He didn't know she was gone
Until reality took blindness away
60 years have gone by
It was the hardest thing to live through this day

She danced away like a swan
Her beauty left him stumped with no words to say
60 years have gone by
That moment stayed with him right until this day

All the pain in the world subsides when he closes his eyes and lives
All the pain in the world subsides when he closes his eyes and lives
In sweet memory

He drift away like a song
He never wanted her to wait for too long
Just like a sweet lullaby
Sang by an angel who is ready to fly

All the pain in the world subsides when he closes his eyes and lives
In sweet memories

The moment he wakes up in the night
Alone and without her in his sight
There's no other reason left to try

All the pain in the world subsides when he closes his eyes and leaves
All the pain in the world subsides when he closes his eyes and leaves
With sweet memories
